Glastonbury fans have been left stunned by the prices of drinks at this year’s festival – with some costing as much as £12.90.
Worthy Farm opened its gates today, kicking off a weekend of music. But thousands of the festival goers that descended on Somerset were left mortified by the prices of drinks, with some people calling them a ‘scam’ on social media.
Drinks such as Brooklyn Pilsner, Brothers Festival cider and Stonewall Inn IPA have increased by 20p per pint from last year. Wine has increased by 45p while premium sprits have also risen by 20p.

Spirits range in price, with the cheapest costing £5.95. The price of wine starts at £7.95 and if you want a soft drink, you will have to pay at least £3.00.

A small can of water is £2.50 but a bottle of water at the Village Inn will cost you a staggering £7.50.
Fans, who have already spend hundreds of pounds on tickets, have taken to social media to complain about the shocking prices.
One user on X said: “Imagine paying over £300 for Glastonbury tickets to be told it’s a further £32 for an £8 bottle of wine. Don’t give festivals your coin it’s a proper scam.”
Another said: “£2.50 for a can of water is criminal. Glad they prioritised people’s health with £7.50 bottles of water.”
One claimed: “Drink prices at events these days are ridiculous. They’ve basically doubled in about 4 years.
“I’m taking multiple cool boxes and frozen water bottles and will buy extra ice on Sunday. Last year only bought 3 drinks and had coldies all festie. No queues either!”
However, some people posting on social media seemed to think the prices were more reasonable than others.
One said: “It’s just the same as in any city centre bar.”
Another joked: “Well it’s cheaper than a pint in London. So technically, I’m winning.”
